[Mageia-discuss] autofs doesn't work.

[Luca Olivetti]

I'm trying to use autofs to mount on demand from an nfs server.

The same, simple, configuration is working on mandriva 2010.0 but not on mageia 1.

In /etc/autofs/auto.master I just put

/net /etc/autofs/auto.net --timeout=60

If I run automount on the foreground on the mandriva machine, this is what I see
when I try to ls /net/pippo:

# automount -f -v
Starting automounter version 5.0.5, master map auto.master
using kernel protocol version 5.01
mounted indirect on /net with timeout 60, freq 15 seconds
ghosting enabled
attempting to mount entry /net/pippo
mounted offset on /net/pippo/home with timeout 60, freq 15 seconds
mounted /net/pippo


On the mageia 1 machine I just get a file not found reply to ls /net/pippo and I 
see no attempt to mount from automount:

# automount -f -v -v
Starting automounter version 5.0.5, master map auto.master
using kernel protocol version 5.02
mounted indirect on /net with timeout 60, freq 15 seconds
ghosting enabled


The output of "/etc/autofs/auto.net pippo" is the same on both machines:

-fstype=nfs,hard,intr,nodev,nosuid \
        /home pippo:/home


Am I doing something wrong or should I file a bug report?

Bye
